Re: [DML] Re: Torsion Bars ReVisited

John,

I can tell you from experience that posting to the DML will not get you a
flood of responses for people wanting a particular part. I thought that
almost everyone who has a DeLorean would want at least one convex mirror
made for the passenger side (if not both sides), but I have only had about a
dozen people wanting them. Why there are few testimonials on the list
raving about how good they are is because I haven't had time to make many.
That will change soon.

Put me down for one torsion bar if you can have them made. My driver's door
has always been a royal pain for adjustments. If the torsion bar ever
broke, the car would basically not be drivable on any kind of regular basis.
First, I would feel pretty ridiculous trying to open an 80lb door. Second,
I would do too much damage to the car's interior by using the passenger door
and climbing over the center console. I bet that when someone who uses
their car regularly has a torsion bar break and they can't get one -- then
they may be even willing to front the $7500 to have a batch made.

Aren't there any altruistic millionaires on the list who would want to do
this? I would have a lot more fun loosing $7500 on torsion bars than
blowing it at a casino in Vegas.
